Differential and transfer case service is the maintenance most drivers never think about until something expensive starts making noise. These units run on a small amount of gear oil under heavy load, and that fluid degrades and gets contaminated over time — especially on trucks and SUVs that tow, haul, or see gravel and water.

We drain and refill differentials and transfer cases with the correct fluid specification for your vehicle, including limited-slip additives where they’re required. While the fluid is out we inspect it for metal particles and check seals and vents for leaks, because a differential that’s been running low is often the real story behind a whine that comes and goes with speed.

What's Included

  • Differential fluid drain and refill
  • Transfer case fluid service
  • Limited-slip additive where required
  • Fluid contamination and metal inspection
  • Seal and vent leak inspection
  • Drivetrain noise diagnosis

Symptoms worth bringing in: a howl or whine that changes with vehicle speed rather than engine speed, a clunk when engaging four-wheel drive, vibration from underneath the vehicle, or an oily film around the differential cover or transfer case.

If you drive an AWD crossover, a 4WD pickup, or a rear-wheel-drive vehicle and you’ve never had this service done, call (913) 850-1750 and we’ll check the fluid condition. It’s a small service that prevents a very large bill.
